| really small battery
Hey guys, I need a battery that is no more then 30mm's wide, no thicker than 25mm's, and no longer then 80mm's. It is for a scale crawler 1/10th scale. It has scx10 transmission and axles. If its possible I like the power of a 3S 2200mah lipo. The connector needs to be a deans. And it has to ship to Canada. What would you suggest? Thanks. Sorry for all the questions LOL. I was going to buy these Bonka Power Bonka Power 850mAh 3S 45C / 70C 11.1V Wit XT60 BK/BK850-45-3S .Then they emailed me and said shipping was $27.00 USD which is $36.25 CAD. So thats to much for me Last edited by bigwig; 11-21-2016 at 07:20 AM. |

Go to HobbyKing and use their LiPo finder. That should get you what you need. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/lipo.html EDIT: This is a link to batteries with the size you requested: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/lipo.htm...height_b=0-25& Last edited by JatoTheRipper; 11-21-2016 at 11:27 AM. |

I use a Venom 1300mah 50C 3S pack in my GCM Skeleton which is incredibly tight. Picture a Mamba Micro X, BEC, receiver, winch controller, all associated wiring crammed on that plate next to the motor. Normally Venom packs aren't on my radar but I needed a battery and my LHS had it in stock. They are quite common so I'm sure you can find a shop in Canada or you can order from Tower. I'm really glad I picked it up because it is significantly smaller than my Turnigy packs of similar specs. They are a little wider than 30mm but I find a 1300mah battery gets a very good amount of runtime (about an hour of trail driving per pack), it would be worth the effort to make a slightly larger pack fit whatever you are building.

Hey guys, I have another question. A lot of the 800mAh and lower mAh batteries have little plugs, like the JST. My question is, can I solder on a deans connector? So I can plug it into my ESC. Also, how can I have two batteries running at the same time? I would like to do this so I have more power and run time, since the batteries are so small. Thanks for all the help!

850mah, 3s, 35c, deans. Length:* 54mm Width: 30mm Height: 24mm Weight: 2.5 oz. Team Brood Racing :: Batteries :: Lipo :: 850 mAh Batteries :: Pure Energy 850 mAh 3s To answer your other questions, yes you can solder any plug connector on a battery. And connecting 2 batterys, your option is series or parallel. Series will double your cells so two 3s, would be 6s. Parallel is double your run time. So two 1000mah would be 2000mah. |

Hay guys, do you guys think I should mount the battery in the back instead of the rock sliders? Then if I do that it would be easier to find a battery. Or do you think I should keep looking for one to fit in the rock sliders? Do you think there would be to much weight in the back? Thanks Last edited by THX_138; 12-22-2016 at 10:49 PM. | |
